GeorgeC1 said: The time period you mention is busy with kids just getting out of school. Cooper will be full by noon on that Saturday however boats leave late into the day so you may get lucky. 3 should be fine for the others however you just don't know. All offer other options nearby or decent anchoring. G We'd be going to cooper on a Sunday. Any difference?

I've been to the BVI at least 15 times, including a couple of at least month long visits on my own boat, and I still haven't got to Cooper island early enough to snag a mooring!
My next visit, I'm going to to travel there mid-week from north sound or Jost in an effort to avoid the crowds leaving from Roadtown on the weekend.

Sounds like a darned if you do and darned if you don't. Get there too late and the early birds got all the worms. Get there early, and your are waiting for someone to wake up and move on. Is Cooper really that difficult in June? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> Please help.
I'd like to be a jelly fish, cause jelly fish don't pay rent.

I always see a handful of boats leave Cooper at first light (probably for the Baths). I wouldn't worry about arriving too early.

Same question but we are going the second week of September on a Moorings 4000. First time chartering in BVI. Night 1 Norman Night 2 Marina Cay Night 3 North Sound Night 4,5 Anegada Night 6 JVD Night 7 Peter
Also, any idea what size (capacity) dinghy comes with the 4000? Norman shouldn't be a problem at all. If you think you might be late to Marina Cay you can reserve a slip at Scrub. They have a free water taxi to Marina Cay and Trellis. I would get a slip at Leverick Bay too. Not sure about the balls on Anegada, but we took a Lagoon 400 in pretty shallow and anchored in front of the Reef Hotel. Great Harbor has plenty. We anchored there too. I doubt peter will be a problem either. Check out BVI Mariner here to get good info on anchorages, marinas, moorings too. Have a great trip <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
